In Counting Stars in an Empty Sky, Dr. Michael Youssef guides you through the faith-filled journey of Abraham—a man called to trust God when the promises seemed distant and the path was dark. Across this 10-part series, Dr. Youssef reveals how true faith clings to God’s Word, even when the visible evidence is gone. Through powerful teaching rooted in Genesis and pointing to Christ, each episode highlights God’s covenant faithfulness, the necessity of obedience, and the urgency of trusting God’s plan over our own. From the silence of waiting to the surrender of all, this series will challenge you to trust the God who sees, who provides, and who never fails to fulfill His promises.  

In this stirring message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares the faithfulness of the God who keeps His promises—no matter how long the delay. From Genesis 21, the long-awaited birth of Isaac proves that God is never late, and that nothing is impossible for Him. But Isaac’s birth was more than a personal victory for Abraham and Sarah—it pointed forward to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ and even to our own spiritual rebirth. Just as Isaac was born by God’s power alone, so too we must be born again by the Holy Spirit. This episode calls every listener to repentance, to faith in Christ alone, and to rejoice in the unshakable joy that comes from trusting the Word of the Living God.
